adding to blocker... new F10 feature

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2008-09-24 20:53:46 UTC
Does this machine run at some unusual resolution?  Can you attach a picture of the display?

Comment 3 Laurence 2008-09-24 22:16:24 UTC
Laptop screen, 1920x1200 native resolution. Any tips on getting a screenshot from firstboot?

I'm getting the same behaviour on a Thinkpad T60p with a 1600x1200 resolution screen.  If you mean a real photo, I might be able to get one tonight.

Comment 6 Chris Lumens 2008-09-25 19:19:33 UTC
A real photo would be fine.

Screenshot from firstboot

Comment 8 Laurence 2008-09-25 20:39:21 UTC
As you can see from the screenshot, it thinks my screen is square!

xdpyinfo agrees:

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1920x1920 pixels (508x508 millimeters)

For some reason gdm and gnome run fine, not off the bottom of the screen?!

Comment 9 Chris Lumens 2008-09-25 20:47:55 UTC
Yes, that would definitely be the problem.  I'm not doing anything special in firstboot to start up X anymore, so this shouldn't be my bug.  The /tmp/firstbootX.log file might be helpful in debugging what's going wrong here.

photo of firstboot screen on T60p (screen 1600x1200)

Here is a photo of one of the first boot screens on my T60p (screen size 1600x1200).  I have a couple other photos, but they all are missing the bottom buttons, just like this one.

Comment 12 Laurence 2008-09-30 22:37:26 UTC
However... looking at the logfile although initially it thinks the screen is 1920x1920, it then resizes it to 1920x1200 (correct).

GDM & GNOME seems to be fine with this... but firstboot not.

Comment 13 Peter F. Patel-Schneider 2008-10-11 12:10:40 UTC
Seems to be fixed in the Snap1 version, although the graphical experience is not always first rate.

I'm getting a ... Assuming cache write through message that interrupts the graphical sequence.

Comment 14 Laurence 2008-10-12 18:34:32 UTC
Fixed for me in snap1 too, closing...
